You swallow a large "pill" that has a camera on it that takes pictures and does some other things as it goes through your entire GI tract.
no cause ever found, what is the pill cam test?
So no cause for the bleeding was ever found? Have you had a pill cam test (also called the Smart Pill)?
had colonoscopy-normal stool testing-normal
Have you had a colonoscopy? Have you had any stool testing done? Those symptoms are definitely not normal.
had the upper scope today, doctor said everything looked good. I am really frustrated now, so I guess bleeding from the rectum, abdominal pain, diarrhea, clear blood tinged mucus from the rectum is normal.....
gall bladder sludge and they told me it was a 34 really don't know what that means, also I get the scope done tomorrow.
What organ was the sludge in? What do you mean by a 34 number? Do you mean an ejection fraction percent?
ultrasound showed sludge on right side near ribs, the hida scan came back with a 34 number and it should be 35
So which scan showed sludge, and where was that sludge?
Did you have an ultrasound or a HIDA scan?
yes- my gallbladder is ok
Hi......if your gallbladder has been ruled out then I feel certain they will be able to diagnose you with the endoscopy. It could be several things, and they're doing the right thing by running the necessary tests to determine what is causing this. It's just a shame they didn't do the upper scope when you had your colonoscopy. I hope your appt. is soon, if not call the office and let them know how bad you feel, they keep appt.s open for emergencies and I feel you need to be seen ASAP so you can get some relief. Take care.
Welcome to the gastroenterology community! Did you ever have the scan to check your gallbladder?
